The Horse and I

About

A man and a horse form an unlikely bond in this novel from the bestselling author of If Cats Disappeared from the World. Kawamura brings his signature blend of gentle magical realism and emotional directness to a story about companionship, impermanence, and the wordless understanding that can exist between a human and an animal. The novel is warm, contemplative, and structured around the simple premise that some relationships don't need language to be profound. Kawamura writes about connection with the tenderness of someone who understands that the most important conversations happen without words. A story about a man and a horse — and the kind of understanding that exists beyond what either of them can say.
